History
Hana to Yume began its publication as a monthly magazine in May 1974, with Kazuko Koyeno's illustration as the cover, with the price of 200 yen. However, in January 1975, its publication was changed from a monthly to a semi-monthly published magazine. The recent price has been 290 yen.
In 1976, 2 years after Hana to Yume was first published, LaLa (which was previously known as Hana to Yume LaLa) was created as a sister magazine to Hana to Yume. It later became its own independent magazine with a sister magazine of its own, LaLa DX.
In 2009, the magazine celebrated its 35th anniversary and has collaborated with Yahoo! Japan Comic which is currently digitally distributing the magazine's serialized manga. Glass Mask by Suzue Miuchi, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e by Hisaya Nakajō are among the 235 titles currently available to be read online.[4] To commemorate the magazine's anniversary, there was an internet radio broadcast streaming at Yahoo! Japan for an hour and a half. Suzue Miuchi was the guest in the 2nd episode of the radio show, broadcasted on May 4.[5]
Hana to Yume Guide Book
Hana to Yume Guide Book (花とゆめ GUIDE BOOK?) was published and released together with a set of embossed stickers in issue 01 of the magazine in 2002 as a furoku to commemorate the magazine's 35th anniversary.
The book contains summaries of titles serialized in the magazine since its inception to April 2009. It also has well-wishing messages from 22 manga artists, among of them are Noriko Sasaki, Natsuki Takaya, Marimo Ragawa, Saki Hiwatari, Suzue Miuchi, Hisaya Nakajo and Nanpei Yamada whom have been serializing their work in the magazine.
